Linkbar

I jumped on the trainer last night. I watched Jeopardy while biking. I did 20 second sprints every time someone gave a wrong answer. So I coined this workout “The Jeopardy 20.” Double Jeopardy was rough. And there was a contestant named Barb who did NOT make it easy for me...

Then I stretched afterwards while playing a quick game of Madden 94 on my Super Nintendo:

Yes, my SUPER NINTENDO. It’s an oldie but a goodie. Like the missionary position. And hot cocoa. (But not at the same time.)

I don't know Barb, and I've never seen Barb, and, to be honest, I have my suspicions that "Barb" isn't even her real name, yet nevertheless I feel I should come to her defense by pointing out that Barb ...um ... she ...

I still love Super Nintendo for the exploits, especially EA Sports games.

Cowboys HB Toss Left to Emmit Smith is virtually unstoppable even when you know it's coming.

My brother would run the score up to 100+ points just to watch me blow a gasket. Sure I could have picked the Cowboys for myself, but once upon a time there was such a thing as pride and integrity in video gaming. 49er fans didn't pick the Cowboys in 1994.

What time at the dome? Interestingly enough, I will be int he twin cities area that day. I doubt I will do intervals, but running inside might be necessary for my FL blood and it would spectacular to meet up!

What, exactly, is wrong with the missionary position and hot cocoa at the same time? Adds a little "danger" to the old standard does it not? Hmmm... now you've got me thinkin... although... there's nothing sexy about being scalded... unless you're into that... not that there's anything wrong with that... personal pref... oh geeze... I'm shutting up now... shutting up.

I do similar stuff on the trainer...every time a particular character comes on the set, or at the start of each commercial (if it's not TIVOd), or each time someone misses a letter on wheel of fortune (yeah, I watch it from time to time)

Hey Steve,I have stayed away from the Dome bc the HARD concrete surface wasnt too forgiving to my lower body, legs, achilles ( hmm? thought?) so you wont likely see me there :) How about Treadmill runs at the Y? Take care.Julia

I make video games for a living so I'm glad to see people incorporating them to into their workouts. I used to play Madden on my Sega Genesis and ride my bike in the late 80's. Techmo bowl is now out of the Nintendo DS and it’s pretty neat so you can relive your glory days. I ran the Dome on Thursday night, but I don't think I could keep up with you guys. Maybe see you there.
